president obama doesn't. it is almost like he can't even drive people to get what he needs. >> yes and no. earmarks in new york state are called member items. when they're done above board with full trance -- transparency, we need money for this road improvement or national park. as long as there's complete transparency there's nothing insidious about those. maybe we went too far in eliminating them. i don't know what the rules down in d.c. are anymore. here's what i would say. the president and i take this from "the new york times" article, didn't even go so far as to say to the alaska senator you voted against me. i'm not having a cabinet member go to your state for the next nine months. every time you want a constituent to come to the white house, they have to wait outside. there are a range of things, petty, mean-spirited nasty. somewhere in there there is a medium that is an appropriate response for a president to say look personally i'm disappointed in heidi heitkamp. we were ags at the same time. mark

obama: this was a heinous and cowardly act. and given what we now know about what took place the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. what we don't yet know, however is who carried out this attack or why whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic or was the act of a malevolent individual. >> john: what we do know is that around 2:50 p.m. yesterday two bombs exploded within 15 second and 500 feet of each other near the end of the boston marathon killing three people and injuring an additional 176. the bombs were reportedly built inside six liter pressure cook ers. they were packed with ball bearings nails and black powder to maximize harm to those nearby. now, earlier accounts of at least two additional device being discovered in boston were not accurate. pictures just released by whdh in boston, sent to the fbi purport to show a suspicious package in an area directly impacted by the explosion. while photos released by waga in atlanta claim to show the remnants of the pressure

. >> obama: we still do note know who did this or why and people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. but make no mistakes we'll get to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this. any response--any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice. >> john: for more on this i'm joined via skype by robert siciliano, a security expert who was actuallily running in the marathon earlier today. robert, thank you for joining us at the end of this terrible day. >> good evening. >> john: let me start by asking if you and your family are okay? >> yes we--we're fine. both my family and i were within 300 to 500 yards of each of the blasts when they occurred, so between me and my family, there was a bomb. i was rounding the street where the finish line is when it happened, and my wife and kids, my dad, they were all on the other side of the finish line waiting for me. >> john: were they facing the street? were they in a crowd of people? were they looking down from a building? where was your fami

here is a tip skeeter, while you're able to arm yourself while calling obama a gun-grabbing tyrant is proof that he is not. by opposing background checks at gun shows, the nra guarantees that guns can be legally bought through the gun show loophole by felons or third parties who sell to felons. then those legal guns disappear, get sold a few more times. when the cops recover those weapons years later after a killing that wiped out a playground full of kids, police can say illegal guns. background checks would not have stopped anything. background checks only infringe on your second amendment rights if you're a felon, a terrorist or criminally insane. if you're all three you probably already work as an nra lobbyist. it's all about the money. west borough ignores the teachings of jesus and takes one line out of context to justified their evil. the nra ignores the second amendment well-regulated militia part to fulfill their greed. opposing gun safety is an insult to people. wayne lapierre is indifferent and makes more nra members think, maybe i'm okay. i would like to thank amy goodman,

by victims of gun violence. >> obama: i heard some say blocking this step would be a victory. my question is a victory for who? a victory for what? victory for not doing something that 90% of americans, 80% of republicans, the vast out of your constituents wanted to get done? it begs the question who are we here to represent? i heard folks say having families lobby for this legislation was some how misplaced. a prop somebody called it. emotional blackmail some outlets said. are they serious? do we really think that thousands of families whose lives have been shattered by gun violence don't have a right to weigh in on this issue? do we think their emotions, their loss is not relevant to this debate? so all in all this was a pretty shapeshameful day for watch. >> we're joined by cofounder stop violence and kids joe rosenthal and kim russell, thank you for joining me on this emotional evening. it's a pleasure to have both of you back. kim, i would like to start with you. you're personally touched by gun violence, what are your feelings. >> i'm appalled and disappointed with our o
